Editor's Conclusion

Chris Pleines
Founder of Datingscout and Author of the book "Online Dating for Dummies"

Wapa is one of the first lesbian dating apps but it hasn't been able to maintain its status. Its simple interface and very few features don't amount to much when it comes to appealing to lesbians.
